This past weekend, the World Cup Series kicked off at Vilhelmsborg, Denmark. Andreas brought both the Danish Warmblood Gold Medal Mare and WCYH bronze medalist Queenpark's Wendy by the triple World Champion Sezuan out of Soprano as well as the two-time World Champion Jovian by Apache/Tango. Both horses have entered the big arena this year with great success.
Andreas showed Wendy in the 3-star Grand Prix and made his debut on Jovian in the first leg of the World Cup Series - and what a debut! A total of 16 combinations competed in the FEI Dressage World Cup, among others, the gold-winning team from this year's World Equestrian Games held in Herning, Denmark. Andreas hadn't shown Jovian since earning two straight victories at the prestigious CHIO Aachen, Germany this summer but confirmed, that Jovian has developed amazingly since. And despite Jovian only turning 8 this year, he showed once again, that he belongs to the top of international dressage. With his supreme movements, perfect conformation and magnificient rideability, he finished 3rd in the Grand Prix achieving a solid 74.579% and 4th in the freestyle with a massive 80% in the freestyle. And only small errors occurred in the very technical program, which Andreas has put together.
Jovian is bred by E.T. Ten Bosch.
In the 3-star Grand Prix, Andreas took the lead onboard Queenpark's Wendy scoring a solid 71.804% to finish first and placed second in the Special with a massive 73.085%. One of the judges even gave them a 77.447%.
Queenpark's Wendy is bred by Kurt Gosmer and owned by Chateau de Fontaine.
